Be Present. Get Creative.
I’m Diane — an interdisciplinary artist and lifelong seeker devoted to the healing power of creativity. Whether through movement, writing, or visual art, I believe the creative process opens a doorway to inner wisdom and authentic expression. My work invites others to connect more deeply with their own stories—to explore, to express, and to transform.
Originally from the Bay Area, I now make my home in Spokane, WA. My path has taken me across landscapes and cultures—from mountain peaks to forest trails, from silent retreats to lively dance floors—all in search of meaning, beauty, and connection. Along the way, I’ve met remarkable teachers: artists, poets, shamans, plants, animals, grief, joy — and the still, small voice within.
Much of what I understand about life has come not only from study but from lived experience—the kind that breaks you open and teaches you how to grow with grace. When my father died at a young age, I came to know longing and love in equal measure. That early loss shaped me, but it also deepened my capacity to listen, to feel, and to create
Art became my companion
A way to make sense of the world and stay connected to what matters most. As an only child, I often turned to drawing, journaling, and make-believe to explore my inner world. Those roots still feed my work today. Creativity, for me, isn’t about perfection—it’s about presence. It’s about the courage to be with what is, and the willingness to shape it into something meaningful.
Dance and movement have been etched into my bones. I’ve danced in front of fires, in nightclubs, in kitchens, on mountain tops and have swivelled my hips to salsa beats. Movement has always been my medicine—a way to come home to myself, again and again. I believe our bodies carry wisdom, and that joy is a form of knowing.
My journey continues to be one of healing, expansion, and deepening into authenticity. I’m committed to clearing away what no longer serves so I can meet life—and others—with clarity, compassion, and openness.
My hope is that through my work, you feel inspired to honour your own path. That you find a moment of stillness, a spark of joy, or a thread of connection that brings you closer to your heart.
Let’s create a more beautiful, conscious world—together.
